whole world in his hands-part three

so tonight at the temple i wondered about a lot of things. including...how heavenly father can know about me in a non-spanish temple session (apparently they are 1st and 3rd thursdays...whoops), the woman who found out today she has cancer, the people in haiti who are still trapped in collapsed buildings, the 3rd grader who is scared to death of his spelling bee tomorrow, the couple who has just decided to divorce, the couple who just got engaged, the family members living in the united states wondering if their relatives in haiti are alive or dead, the woman who just found out she is finally pregnant after 4 rounds of in-vitro, the parents who are praying for their wayward child, the girl who wrote "haiti" on a slip of paper for the prayer roll tonight at the temple and hoped that no one would get mad-since technically, there isn't a special relationship...but still, the couple who was just told that a birth mother has chosen them, the worry a therapist has constantly in the back of her head for 2 different clients who are suicidal enough to be a concern but not enough to involuntarily commit and hopefully going to make it for their appointments next week, the prayers of a relief society president in boston who aches for everyone in the world because her heart is gold, the loneliness of thousands for a multiplicity of reasons...and the many kiddos all over the world tonight who prayed for and found the stuffed animal that they ALWAYS sleep with.

i'm so glad he's in charge.

so glad.

I am amazed that you can list all of those tender wonderings.. but those are some of the things that keep me awake at night! And you have reminded me to get to the temple soon!

Love how you can articulate so well to create the perfect image. Always a good reminder that He knows. He also knows how deeply I miss and love you. Besos to my sweet Pally.

You are amazing Jules. You really have a way of putting things. You should write a book. It is comforting to know that He is in charge and loves all of us.
